Seat angles
I'm in the process of installing different seats in the 68. I currently have a Corbeau Forza seat I'm fitting, but may try different seats later. The way i currently have it installed is too low, and possibly too upright. Is there specific angles to set racing seats, especially in a pickup?
Also keep in mind that I'm 6'4" so I need leg room.Matt Kenner

If you can leave two black stripes from the exit of one corner to the braking zone of the next, you have enough horsepower. - Mark Donohue

Pick the angle and height that is comfortable. Do it with your helmet on.
Pick ups are hard, the lower you go, the worse the leg room feels.Donny

That's the issue the way it is now. My legs are almost at a 90 deg bend. I figured a couple inches higher and the seat angled back a couple more degrees may be about right. However, the initial test drive allowed me to feel how much different a lower center of gravity and a supportive seat felt in some tight curves!!
